Azure Key Vault — List Secret Metadata

azure_keyvault_secrets_list
Read-only

Lists secret properties in a Key Vault (metadata only — never returns secret values). Prefer this over azure_cli_query for Key Vault discovery. Use azure_keyvault_secret_metadata for a single secret.

Input Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
vaultUrlYesKey Vault URI (e.g. https://myvault.vault.azure.net)

  2. First observed

TDQS

A4.4/5.0
Behavior4/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

Annotations already cover the safety profile (readOnly, non-destructive, closed-world), so the description's added value is the explicit 'never returns secret values' guarantee, which prevents an agent from expecting secret material. It does not mention required vault permissions/RBAC or pagination-cursor handling, which would complete the behavioral picture.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Three short sentences, no filler, with the most important constraint (metadata-only) front-loaded in the first sentence and the two routing hints following immediately.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness4/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

An output schema exists, so return values need not be explained, and all four parameters are covered by the schema. The only remaining gap is auth/prerequisite context (vault access requirements, cross-tenant behavior given the optional azure_tenant_id), which would make it fully self-contained.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 100%, with vaultUrl, context_id, maxResults (with default 50 / max 200) and azure_tenant_id all documented inline. The description adds no parameter-level meaning beyond that, so the baseline 3 applies.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

States a specific verb and resource ('Lists secret properties in a Key Vault') and immediately qualifies the scope with 'metadata only — never returns secret values'. It names both the sibling it replaces for discovery (azure_cli_query) and the sibling for single-secret lookups (azure_keyvault_secret_metadata), so it is unmistakable.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines5/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

Gives explicit routing: 'Prefer this over azure_cli_query for Key Vault discovery' and 'Use azure_keyvault_secret_metadata for a single secret.' Both the preferred alternative and the inverse case are stated, leaving nothing to inference.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
